Boat Noodle (Avenue K)

This place needs no introduction. One fateful conversation with Tastemaker Navina (@navina28) led me on a hunt for Boat Noodle’s infamous Cha Keow Yen (Thai Iced Green Tea, RM6.9) in Navina’s books, that is. And boy was it refreshing! It’s mellower than the original cha yen in terms of the taste of tea but still as tasty (most likely the sugar and milk). And while you’re at it, dig in to Boat noodles’ bowls of oodles. Priced at RM1.90 per bowl, my pick has got to be their noodles in Pathumtani dark soy broth served with thin slices of beef and beef meatball. The Ayutthaya cream broth will take some getting used to as it's a lot intense in terms of flavour, with the cream and all. Wash them all down with the Cha Keow Yen and you'll be satisfyingly full.
